Minglong Youth: Shared House with Cheng Yushan and Bian Xiaoxiao

Although he also knew that it was too cruel to let these children at the scene see the cruel side of society when they were only in high school, but this kind of cognition should be discovered as early as possible. Once you graduate from college and look for a job, it will be too late.

"Teacher, I want to choose physics!"

Li Ran was the first to speak, with a firm look in his eyes.

He actually likes physics very much. From childhood to adulthood, with the company and inspiration of his father, he has created many interesting robots.

But so what?

My father was so talented in physics, but in the end he was just an ordinary worker in a factory. He even suffered a work-related injury, but he had no place to seek justice, and ultimately died with regrets.

This is also the reason why Li Ran does not want to choose physics.

But it's different now.

Compared with other subjects, Li Ran is indeed very good at physics. If he chooses physics, he can get a higher score and have a greater chance of being admitted to Qingbei.

"Teacher, I listen to you!"

"I have to get high scores. I don't want to be that ordinary fresh graduate who can be bullied by others!"

As Li Ran finished speaking, Bian Xiaoxiao and others also expressed their opinions.

They are still young, and their experience in the job market just now seemed to allow them to see their future selves.

If there are better options, who would want to be the graduate whose resume is disliked and thrown away after just one look?

Only by choosing the right subjects can you get higher scores and enter a better university!

Even if they can't get into Qingbei, at least they can have better choices!

No?

“Thumbs up for you guys!”

Lei Ming smiled and gave a thumbs up to everyone.

Sang Xia, who was standing aside, opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but it seemed that there was nothing to say.

Not everyone is like her, who can live a life of comfort and wealth even without a job.

The current employment situation is indeed not very good. What qualifications do I have to ask them to choose many useless majors and subjects for their so-called interests and hobbies?

Buzz!

At this moment, a cell phone rang, interrupting everyone's conversation.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw that it was Zhou Chen's cell phone ringing.

Zhou Chen frowned and picked up the phone. It was an unfamiliar call, and the number was not from Xingzhou City. Thinking it was a scam or sales call, he hung up.

“Maybe it’s a sales pitch.”

Zhou Chen said lightly.

Buzz!

Buzz!

However, just as he finished speaking, another call came in.

It’s actually the same mobile phone number from before!

Zhou Chen was speechless and could only answer the call.

"Hello, hello, is this the author Tian Can Dou Dou? I'm your editor-in-chief Tao Tao, I..."

at the same time.

Thousands of miles away in Jianghai City, Taotao, a busty beauty editor of Fanfan Chinese website, was talking on the phone with an excited look on her face.

"Fights Break Sphere" written by Tian Can Dou Dou is very popular. It has been serialized for three months and has been on the new book list. Although the updates are too poor, it is still very popular.

Recently, a company contacted their website, wanting to purchase the audio rights of this novel!

It is a rare thing that a new author who has only serialized a novel of hundreds of thousands of words and may even stop updating at any time can be noticed by a copyright company.

But in order to make this deal, she needed the author's consent, so she obtained Tian Can Dou Dou's contact information from the website's backend.

However, no one accepted my QQ request.

She had made five or six phone calls in a row. No one answered the first few, and the previous call was hung up directly. Now she finally got through.

Snapped!

However, before she could finish her words, the call was hung up again.

Taotao: "..."

On the way back to Minglong Middle School, Zhou Chen looked at everyone helplessly.

"The scammers nowadays are too much. I don't know where they stole my personal information from. Everyone must pay attention to information security!"

What a joke! He actually said he was his own editor-in-chief.

Fanfan Novel Network is different from Zhou Chen’s original world. It is entirely based on recommendations from the backend system based on big data and does not require real-life editing.

Zhou Chen has been serializing his novel for three months. Everything was signed and recommended according to the system process. The editors displayed in the background were also robots. There was no real editor to contact.

Well, maybe I accidentally opened a website last night and the information was leaked.

Chapter 49 Audio Copyright Guaranteed at

"Taotao, have you contacted the author? Himalaya is asking for help urgently!"

In Jianghai City, inside the company of Fanfan Novel Network.

Manager Zhao from the business department walked up to the beautiful editor Taotao and urged her with a frown.

Although he is a business manager, he is also a loyal fan of "Fights Break Sphere". Yesterday, he even gave 500 yuan to the author to urge him to update the chapter. Unfortunately, the author was very aloof and still updated one chapter, which made him quite helpless.

It just so happened that Himalaya wanted to purchase a batch of copyrights from him recently, so he recommended "Fights Break Sphere" to them.

As a result, the people there took a look at it and made a decision on the same day to purchase the copyright of the book.

Although "Fights Break Sphere" has only a few hundred thousand words, which is nothing compared to a novel that often has tens of millions of words, and the author is a pure newcomer, but if it can cooperate with Himalaya and cultivate the IP, then adapting it into animation or film and television in the future will become very smooth.

"Manager Zhao, I was trying to contact him, but unfortunately the author hung up on me!"

The beautiful editor Taotao pouted, with a look of grievance on her pretty face.

She is a beauty after all. Normally, she would turn down many handsome guys who asked for her contact information. But now, she took the initiative to call a boy, but was rejected again and again, which seriously hit her self-confidence.

"No, try again!"

Taotao patted her proud chest and took a deep breath.

However, this time she learned her lesson and did not call, but sent a text message to Zhou Chen.

"Dear Tian Can Dou Dou, hello, I am Tao Tao, your editor-in-charge. If you don't believe me, you can check the author's backstage. My contact information has been updated."

"Recently, a company wants to buy the audio copyright of your book. If you see it, please contact me. I have added my QQ number. Thank you."

Taotao is also a recent college graduate. There is nothing she can do. No matter how popular she is at school, she has to bow her head and be humble at work in order to get the job done.

at the same time.

On the minibus, Li Ran and Jiang Qinglang were making fun of Zhou Chen.

"Zhou Chen, did you accidentally click on a certain website, hehehe..." Jiang Qinglang grinned, with a look that all men understand.

"I know a little bit about technology, Zhou Chen, do you want me to help you with encryption?" Li Ran, who was always aloof, couldn't help but say at this time.

"Be serious. I'm so busy all day that I don't have time to look at those things." Zhou Chen coughed lightly and said seriously.

Even if he did something like this, how could he admit it?

What's more, there are not only two teachers in the car, but also Cheng Yushan and Bian Xiaoxiao.

Well, you have to maintain your image.

Ding!

However, at this moment, a text message came.

Zhou Chen opened it and saw that it was the same number that had called just now. However, when he saw the message, Zhou Chen couldn't help but frown.

Could it be that this person is really his editor?

Blinking his eyes, Zhou Chen hurriedly opened the Fanfan Writer Assistant, only to see that his editor-in-chief column had been updated to Taotao, with Taotao's QQ number attached.

Then, Zhou Chen opened QQ and found that someone with that QQ number had indeed added him.

Zhou Chen thought about it for a moment and nodded his agreement.

“Wow, Douda, I finally added you! (*^▽^*)”

Soon, a message came from the other side.

"Dou Da, can I call you to discuss the copyright issue?"

Zhou Chen blinked and replied OK.

Soon, the phone rang again.

"Big Bean, it's like this!"

The beautiful editor Tao Tao said excitedly,

"I don't know if you have heard of Ximalaya, but they are contacting our website recently and want to buy the copyright of your audiobook."

"After repeated discussions, we have preliminarily decided to purchase the audio copyright of Fights Break Sphere at a guaranteed price of 200,000. I wonder what you think, author?"

The data for audio novels seems to be booming, but because of the involvement of websites, voice actors and production costs, not much of the money actually reaches the authors.

A novel with only a few hundred thousand words can have a guaranteed price of two hundred thousand, which is indeed a lot.

"Two hundred thousand..."

Zhou Chen groaned.

He knew how popular "Fights Break Sphere" was. Even if it was with sound, it would definitely cost more than this.

However, Zhou Chen also knew that the novel only had a few hundred thousand words now, and he was very slow in updating it, so it was really inconvenient to negotiate the price.

Fortunately, the price given is a guaranteed one. Regardless of whether the novel makes a profit or a loss, I will first advance the copyright fee of 200,000 yuan. Once Himalaya starts operating the novel, as long as the profit exceeds this price, I can still share the excess with them.

"Two hundred thousand is no problem."

Zhou Chen thought for a moment and said,

"However, the profit share ratio is 50%, which is 50% of the total profit, not 50% from Fanfan Novels. Otherwise, there is no deal."

Zhou Chen knew that if the copyright contract was signed, the profits, excluding the voice actor and operating costs, would first be split 50-50 between Himalaya and Fanfan Novel Network. After the split, Fanfan Novel Network would get its share with him.

In the end, you may get 10% of the total profit, which is already quite good.

If I could get 50% directly, the guaranteed fee of 200,000 would be acceptable.

"Ah? Fifty percent of the total profit?"

Hearing this, Taotao on the other end of the phone was also shocked.

Although she has just started working for a short time, Taotao also knows that in terms of copyright development, the website basically has the final say, and the author does not have much bargaining power at all, it is just a process.

But Taotao never expected that this Tiancan Doudou was actually bargaining with her.

Wow, 50% of the total profit, this... can people agree to it?

The key point is, for this contract, what you say doesn’t count.

"Okay, author, I'll discuss it with Himalaya. I'll contact you once we've reached an agreement. What do you think?"

Taotao blinked and said softly.

Although she thought it was impossible, she was extremely respectful towards Zhou Chen.

"No problem, feel free to contact me."

Zhou Chen smiled lightly and hung up the phone.

He was still very confident about this novel. The guaranteed income of 200,000 plus 50% of the profit was not much. After all, he had received 30,000 in electronic royalties this month alone.

Anyway, he is not short of money now and is not in a hurry to sell the copyright.

"Brother Chen, what's going on? What's two hundred thousand?"
